Score each item on the questionnaire Scored items on ASQ-3 address five areas of child development: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social. Parents may mark YES, SOMETIMES, or NOT YET by filling in a bubble for each item response. To score each developmental area, use the following point value system: • YES = 10 points • SOMETIMES = 5 points • NOT YET = 0 points 1. Check for unanswered items If responses are missing, contact parents to try to obtain answers. You may be able to help parents understand skipped items and get responses, or you can confirm if parents skipped them on purpose. 2. Review responses to the Overall section Read parent responses to items in the Overall section—these give parents an opportunity to share comments about skills, risk factors, and concerns. Discuss any concerns with parents. 3. Review the questionnaire for corrections to sequential skill items A few questionnaires include skills children may no longer perform because they have acquired more advanced skills—for example, sitting without using their hands for support instead of sitting while leaning on their hands for support. If the child performs the more advanced skill, the response for the earlier version of the skill should be marked YES. Sequential skills are marked with an asterisk and include scoring instructions. ASQ Online automatically corrects these item sequences. Scoring Help Get more scoring help!
